Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation as detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and report.
The report shows elevated levels of CEA - 9.24, the normal range is mentioned in the report. up to 2.5 in nonsmokers and up to 5 in smokers.
Please read the write up below the report carefully as it explains the reasons, cancer as well as non-cancer things that can raise the levels up to 10.
It also mentions that a single test of CEA is not an effective test for hidden causes.
Hence you have to do the following:
As mentioned in the report repeat the test after some gap - as would be advised by your Doctor.
Clinical examination and evaluation by your Doctor; supportive other investigations like X-ray CT of chest, CT scan of abdomen, colonoscopy, other blood tests and any investigations as would be advised by your Doctor.
Please discuss with your Doctor and give me the follow up and feedback.
Take care.
I hope this answer helps you.
Feel free to ask further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
